Question 2

should one avoid pregnancy if they have to take inhalors, and strong antihistamines, and omeprazole and nasonex (mometasone) regularly?

Accepted Answer

Change the meds: It's unusual to have to avoid pregnancy altogether because of medications that you take. However, commonly it's recommended to change the meds at least temporarily during the pregnancy to avoid potential problems with the fetus. You should meet with an obstetrician before you get pregnant to discuss this.

Question 3

is there any way to avoid pregnancy after sex? after about a week?

Accepted Answer

Sex: It all depends on your cycle and at what point you had sex. If your period is regular and you had sex around the mid mark, which is close to ovulation, pregnancy is possible. Always use protection when pregnancy is not desired. Good health.

Question 7

i missed one birth control (combined) the beginning of my 1st week and had protected sex between the end of the 1st week and beginning of 2nd week of my birth control pack. am i protected from pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Missed pill ?'s: Missing an active pill at the start of a bcp cycle can allow ovulation , so continue barrier contraception until your next period, but maintain a punctual schedule, taking the active pills immediately after ending the placebo part of your pill cycle.

Question 8

hi there! i'm on birth control and it's my placebo week. about two months ago, i took two pills on accident in one day. am i still protected from pregnancy during the placebo week?

Accepted Answer

: The incident from two months ago would not affect the protection afforded by the pill. It is recommended that you take the pill at about the same time each day. You are protected during the placebo week, if you have been taking it regularly for a month and continue taking the recommended pills.

Get HPV vaccine.

Question 9

if i don't take a week break from birth control and run two packs one after another, if i do a pregnancy test to make sure will it still be accurate?

No: If you are taking the pills daily and don't take a week break and just start another pack there is no need for a pregnancy test.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Oral Contraception: Oral contraception is extremely effective when taken correctly but is not 100% protective. Drinking alcohol and other factors can affect the effectiveness of birth control. If you are ever in doubt, you can take a pregnancy test, and discuss any concerns with your doctor. Remember, taking birth control does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases.
